5) How do solar panels affect my home’s value?

According to one study, solar panels can increase your home’s value enough to recoup almost all of the initial investment. So if you spend $30,000 on solar, your home value will likely go up about the same.

And unlike other major home renovations that increase your home’s value, the addition of solar panels is exempt from property tax in both Missouri and Kansas. So you won’t pay more property tax for adding the panels, either.

Note: If you get solar panels, don’t forget to add them to your home insurance policy! Otherwise they might not be covered if they get damaged from weather or fire.

6) How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels last up to 30 years and require very little maintenance. But this can vary depending on the type and brand of solar panel you install.
